Original text: Gu Yue Na was speechless; she could feel that day that Bai Yuan's condition after using that sword was not good.

Translation: Gu Yue Na was speechless; she could feel that Bai Yuan's condition after using that sword was not good.

We need to keep meaning, not add extra. Let's produce concise: "Gu Yue Na was speechless; she could sense that Bai Yuan's condition after using that sword was not good."

She could feel it that day.

We'll output: 【1】 Gu Yue Na was speechless; she could sense that Bai Yuan's condition after using that sword was not good.

As a result, Bai Yuan now tells her that as long as he has many of those swords, he can use them without limit, which is utterly absurd.

Translation: As a result, Bai Yuan told her that if he had many copies of that sword, he could use it without limit, which is utterly absurd.

We need to keep "utterly absurd" = "utterly absurd" or "simply outrageous". We'll use "utterly absurd".

Actually, it's not really Gu Yue Na's fault; after all, back then she destroyed her bound spiritual artifact, so how could she not suffer a backlash?

Translation: Actually, it's not Gu Yue Na's fault; after all, she originally destroyed her own bound spiritual artifact, so how could she not suffer backlash?

We need to keep "bound spiritual artifact" = "bound spiritual artifact". "backlash" = "backlash". Good.

But as long as Bai Yuan doesn't refine it into a bound spiritual artifact now, and then uses a special method, he can naturally unleash its power easily without suffering a backlash.

Translation: But as long as Bai Yuan does not refine it into his bound spiritual artifact now, and instead uses a special method, he can naturally unleash its power easily without suffering backlash.

She plans to be more cautious, preparing two trump cards for Bai Yuan, adopting a double-pronged approach just in case.

Translation: She intended to be more cautious, preparing two trump cards for Bai Yuan, a double-pronged approach, just in case.

We need to keep "two trump cards" = "two trump cards". "double-pronged approach" = "double-pronged approach". "just in case" = "just in case". Good.

If at that time the Dragon Scale Sword cannot repel the Abyss, then we'll give it a harsh response; worst case, Bai Yuan uses the Abyss's power to help her regain her strength, and then she takes him running across the universe.

Translation: If at that time relying on the Dragon Scale Sword cannot repel the Abyss, then we'll go all out—worst case, Bai Yuan uses the Abyss's power to help her regain her strength, and then she'll take him fleeing across the universe.

Check: "Worst case, Bai Yuan uses the Abyss's power to help her recover strength, then she takes him running across the universe." Means worst case, Bai Yuan uses the Abyss's power to help her recover strength, then she takes him running across the universe. We'll translate accordingly.

As for the soul beasts, the gods of the Divine Realm certainly won't, after they flee, come to destroy the mortal realm soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

Translation: As for the soul beasts, the gods of the Divine Realm certainly wouldn't, after they flee, come to destroy the mortal realm soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

We need to keep "gods of the Divine Realm" = "gods of the Divine Realm". "mortal realm soul beasts on the Douluo Continent" = "mortal realm soul beasts on the Douluo Continent". Good.

Moreover, even if they wanted to, the God of Life and the Benevolent God King would certainly not agree; thus, these two disagreeing also means the Evil God King and the God of Destruction disagree.

Translation: Moreover, even if they wanted to, the God of Life and the Benevolent God King would surely not agree; thus, their disagreement also means the Evil God King and the God of Destruction do not agree.

We need to keep "God of Life" = "God of Life". "Benevolent God King" = "Benevolent God King". "Evil God King" = "Evil God King". "God of Destruction" = "God of Destruction". Good.

After all, over such a trivial matter, arguing with one's wife and causing conflict is simply not worth it.

Translation: After all, arguing and causing conflict with one's wife over such a trivial matter is simply not worth it.

We need to keep "one's wife" = "one's wife". "not worth it" = "not worth it". Good.

Gu Yue Na's spiritual projection vanished, and Bai Yuan didn't continue to obstruct; he flew straight on his sword to Mu Junwu's front.

Translation: Gu Yue Na's spiritual projection vanished, and Bai Yuan did not continue to obstruct; he directly flew on his sword to Mu Junwu's side.

We need to keep "Mu Junwu" = "Mu Junwu". "flew on his sword" = "flew on his sword". Good.

"Junwu, you've grown taller again." Bai Yuan looked at Mu Junwu's true form, which is several dozen meters tall, and joked.

Translation: "Junwu, you've grown taller again." Bai Yuan gazed at Mu Junwu's true form, which was several dozen meters tall, and joked.

Translation: Mu Junwu completely didn't understand these things; she said, "Indeed, I've grown another three meters. Master, didn't Senior Sister Bai Yu come back with you?"

"Hmm, disciple will strive to cultivate." Mu Junwu's tone revealed a hint of nervousness.

Translation: "Yes, I will strive to cultivate," Mu Junwu's tone revealed a hint of nervousness.

In her view, her talent is on the same level as Senior Sister Bai Yu's, but she has confidence that, leveraging her own advantages, she can surpass her in a short time.

Translation: In her view, her talent is on the same level as Senior Sister Bai Yu's, but she has confidence that, relying on her own advantages, she can surpass her in a short time.

Translation: "Thank you, Master," the disciple said. A vine descended from the treetops, immediately coiled around the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and vanished into the canopy.

Translation: But where in the Star Dou Great Forest would so many Title Douluo come from, and where would so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts be found?
